U.S. Master Pension Guide, 2012 Edition
Part of CCH's Master Series of professional guidebooks. The book provides a comprehensive explanatory overview of qualified retirement plans and other retirement arrangements, reflecting up-to-date law changes and regulations. Benefit COLAs, calendars, and tables reflect the year 2012 figures.
The IRS has updated its procedures for employee plans (EP) and exempt organizations (EO) to obtain guidance on issues under the jurisdiction of the Commissioner, Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division (TE/GE). The IRS provides such guidance in the form of letter rulings, closing agreements, compliance statements, determination letters, opinion letters, advisory letters, information letters, revenue rulings, and oral advice. The revenue procedure, which is effective January 3, 2012, contains the IRS's general procedures applicable to letter ruling requests from employee plans and exempt organizations.
Most of the changes involve minor revisions, such as updating citations to other revenue procedures. Appendix E (Additional Checklist for Church Plan Ruling Requests) is modified to reflect changes described in Rev. Proc. 2011-44.
